We were extremely lucky and saw sperm whales which does not happen often and we also saw so many pilot whales. There were opportunities to swim in the sea and also tapas and drinks available.

Review of Tenerife’s 5-hour White Tenerife catamaran tour, with whale watching, swimming, lunch, drinks, live commentary, and practical booking tips.
“Amazing experience. Boat with more than 20 people but we all had our space as it was quite big. Amazing views! Plus we saw whales and dolphins. The crew was super nice always making sure we had food and drinks -very professional! (Diego, Maria and Angel - did I remember correctly)? Honestly if you do an experience from Costa Adeje it cannot be just 3 hours as you would have to rush through things. This one was amazing with 5 hours. Had the best time and views out of this world!”
Review of Tenerife’s small-group whale and dolphin sailing trip, with pilot whales, swimming, snorkel gear, lunch, drinks, and practical booking tips.
“Enjoyed the trip overall, but think for the money paid it wasn’t as described as listed. When we got onboard and out to sea we were quickly informed we were unlikely to see dolphins which is understandable wildlife isn’t predictable but I wouldn’t list it as a main selling point. We were given our champagne which was a nice touch. We saw a few pilot whales for around 15 mins which was great and given it was a 3hr trip, you’d expect to see more especially as this was in was within the first 45mins. We were lucky enough to come across a sea turtle floating by. The rest of…”
